V1 Anyone make these?

The center rod could be shortened if too long.

 

[ccgillett]

Is it too long? I thought it was 5.5" from eye to eye?

Ugh, yeah they are too long....

 

[Gtstorey]

Can I ask what is the hope for adjusting the wing angle?

Something this size 4.5" to 6" adjustment?

I hear 10° is a good ballpark.

Good ballpark for what?

Downforce vs drag. That's just what I've heard not an expert by anymeans. Unless you were asking something else and I misconstrued it.

I think you are wasting your time trying to put an adjustable wing on a Goblin. For the most part the air is too turbulent to get downforce, and you don't have any way to measure either downforce or drag to make adjustments.

I agree it's more for looks than anything with the turbulent air in the rear. The adjustable rods ends was to keep the rake the same from old wing mounts to new.

Adjustable wings are my thing!

If you haven't done so, I would activate it on brake application were it probably would do the most good. Or that might be what you have anyway.

@Gtstorey - already done, it's in my build log a few pages back from the most recent posts. Roof mounted wing set at about 8 degrees normally and rotates up to about 52 degrees with a signal from the brakes for active aero braking that helps push the rear of the car down to counter act nose dive. Come on man, keep up with the trends!!!

I few pages back on your log might be a year, can't remember them all for that long.

Yep, it's been almost a 1-1/2 years.

Did this a while ago…

Things to do while quarantined...

Few wang questions 1. What mount style are those? 2. Where are they welded at? 3. Any links to the 1/4" - 20 heim-joints, turnbuckles, 1/8" cable, and swagless fittings 1. The mounts? I assume they are standard but? Those are DF wing stands (Lonny's design). I ordered them before they had...
